BOOM! Studios has announced the end is near for the Power Rangers with the final issue Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1 coming July 31, 2024. Writer Melissa Flores will pen the story with art by Simona Di Gianfelice and colors by Raúl Angulo. Could this really be the end for BOOM! Power Rangers comics? Given Hasbro just struck a licensing agreement with Playmates Toys, maybe!
“After nearly two years, the Darkest Hour comes to a close. This event has been one of the biggest tasks of my career, but I’ve enjoyed every single, heart-wrenching minute. Although I put our poor Rangers through the ringer, I hope the ending is as satisfying for the reader as it was for me to write it!” said Flores.
So what’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Darkest Hour #1 about?
It all ends here! With the Morphin Grid in peril, the people of Earth are left without the Power Rangers to protect them. The ultimate battle against Dark Specter will play out with unexpected consequences, while an unlikely group of rogues, villains, and Rangers make strange company… But even if they win… can they rebuild everything they’ve lost?
The oversized issue will feature a main cover by the iconic Taurin Clarke, alongside a new Dark Grid variant by Björn Barends, Helmet variant by Goñi Montes, and a top secret Spoiler variant by Santa Fung, among many others.
